perimenting when your lungs are in dan
ger. Consumption always seems at first,
only cold. Do not permit any dealer to
impose upon you with some cheap imita-
ton of DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, but be
sure youj get the genuine. Because he
has something just as good, or just the
same. Don't be deceived, but insist upon
getting DR.. Kings New Discovery, which

The sealed Returns were then opened

Jury Commissioner, G. H. Church
Delegate to the Republican Stat,
Convention, j. E. Wenk.
The next business in order was tn
election Of Chairman of the Repub
lican County Committee. The name
of G. M. Shawkey and E. L. Davi
were presented. Mr.. Davis asked t
be excused, and his name was with
drawn, when the Convention paid MI
Shawkey the high compliment of
unanimous reelection.
The matter of State candidates wa
mentioned, but the desire of some {
the delegates to get away on the
o'clock train cut the discussions shor
there was however, entire unanimit
y of feeling in favor Of the candidac
Of Hon. Henry Brace of Warren, fC
State Treasurer, in the event of tht
Office coming to the Western end
the State, of which there is a reasons
BILE probability, and in which case M
Braces chances for nomination are
the lead of any other.
Throughout, the convention was OF
of the most harmonious ever held
the county, and there was an enti
absence of bad feeling or disappoin
ment on the part of the defeated ca
didates or their friends, which auge
we'll for the success of the ticket
the fall. The ticket as nominated
conceded on all sides to be an exec
tiOnally strong one, and of its triumI
with booming majority there isr
the shadow of a doubt. We have n
the time to individualize at this wri
ing, but will attend 10 that as Il
campaign progresses.

With gay flowers in the market, and gay girls

'ain't she a blOOmer?' The remark is
addressed to the unfeeling pole, but
refers to a rOSy-cheekedg girl, in walking
costume, who is passing down below.
How bright her eyes, and her lips trim
sweets! She hears the audaciouS COM

Christmas week? She grows trltie

ing and blowing, wishing that he had
four arms and hundred pockets, comes
Mr.. Porpoise, laden with bundles and
packages. His pockets bulge out, his
arms are filed and he waddles like a
very fat goose. His cheeks, blown out
with his exertions, are flushed like will
ter apples. He is very uncomfortable
and hot. ''COnfOund you, sir!' he
snorts to a careless passer who punches
him, and oh that boy" to
''newsy" who gets in his way and nearly
upsets him. He wishes he was at home
and sets his teeth with savage energy

capitalists in the East were doing, and
the price of lots and acre property be-
gan to tighten and the limits of the city
widen.
During the season 675.500 tons of
freight were received here by lake YES
sells and 60.000,00 feet of lumber were
forwarded by the same method. There
are $4,000, 900 feet in stock held for home
consumption. Every stick of it would
have left the mill yards, but the owners
know it will be needed as soon as the
frost leaves the ground.
Ashland has five railroad lines, and
they have joined in the building of a
union depot to cost 100000. Work will
commence In the, spring and another
railroad will be built to the Chippewa.
The blast furnace cost S250,0 and
will be ''blown inn next month,
and will employ at the start be-
tween 500 and 600 men. The
Gold & Silver smelter cost
$4,000 and will employ $50 men. The
blast furnace will be fed by charcoal.
which, 1t is calculated, will necessitate
the clearing of something like 1890
acres of timber land per year. Ash
lands main street-Second-is three
miles long from the new furnace to the
ore docks at bay City," Along this
thorOughfare runs new street railway
line, which two years ago would have
been as strange sight as procession
of thousand elephants would be now.
A man who would have the temerity TO
even suggest such thing then would
have been ScOffed at and called crank.
Now there is not
ONE BLOCK ON THE ENTIRE ROUTE
covered by the track two and One-half
niles that has not from one to a dozen
business houses upon it. The line does
big business, and it will be extended
in the spring to the Gold and Silver
smelter, and public park will be built
at the east end of the track. There are
| now four parks in the city proper, but
no suburban place Of amusement and
recreation.
The right kind of material for pulp
mill is so plentiful hereabOutS that it
seems strange that one has not been
built ere this. Any number of chair
factories, furniture factories, wagon
and carriage shops and wOodenware fac
tories would do well here. Ey-
erything needed is at hand.
In fact almost any industry would pay
here. There is big market for all the
products of such works right here in the
North and Northwest; but this is not
the only market that is open. We have
the East and a connection by water
that leaves Lake Michigan manufacture
ing ports far in the rear. These things
are becoming known, by the way, and
rarely night passes that every hotel in
the city is not crowded, large numbers
of the visitors being men of means who
are here to be ION hand in the spring."
as l have heard many of them express it.
There is big chance for small farm
erS to engage in vegetable raising. One
thing about Ashland can be said that is
the biggest recommendation she has,
viz: A chattel mortgage is thing al
most entirely unheard of. Taxes are
only IL per cent on valuation of
about 60 per cent of the actual cash
value. w. T. HOOKER.

In the holiday time the streets do not
begin to wake up until after three in
the afternoon. Up to that time they
have been in possession of the working
public. After, fashion sweeps in with
the unfashiOnables behind her, and
holds full sway until late hours. The
family sleighs get at least one good air
ing, drawn by heavy coach horses,
loaded down with the children and
older folks. By the time the daughters
and mothers have usurped their fathers
and husbands in the control of the
streets it is dark, and, as if by magic
wandS, gas and electric lights float out,
and the world moves briskly on. Some
one wrote long ago of the Memories of
a Street." What sweet remembranees
some of these dingy old streets, with
their ancient walls of wood, brick and
stone, must have of holiday week. How

merry-making pass by.

Some in masks and in dominoes, footing it
on;

And speedily fitting from sight, one by

They bring into the cold of the street
so much light and warmth, that its din
giness fades away. Their care beggarS

would have it. "Shar of she Fash, she

on. Memory succumbed to the wine.
Another one rolled from the postofflce
steps, cutting his head and stunning
himself. A crowd gathered and he was
revived. Once ON his feet he reeled of,
singing:
"At Christmas-tim got penny,
Fol raj, fol raj;
Since then I've lost many,
Fol raj, fol ral.''
He would have to be a dyspeptic.
grumbling growler, who could not find
in the streets at Christmas-time genuine
enjoyment. Eyes never flash to eyes
nor hands meet hands so warmly as in
those hurried passing holidays. The
dull plodding Of business is driven out
by the holiday spirit. Laughter is un-
cheched and innocent fun drives all
moods but gayety away. Even the ag-
gresSive patrOlmen relax. MomuS has
